This book presents over 100 papers from the 3 rd Engineering & Product Design Education International Conference dedicated to the subject of exploring novel approaches in product design education. The theme of the book is "Crossing Design Boundaries" which reflects the editors' wish to incorporate many of the disciplines associated with
and integral to
modern product design and development pursuits.
Crossing Design Boundaries covers
for example
the conjunction of anthropology and design
the psychology of design products
the application of soft computing in wearable products
and the utilisation of new media and design and how these can be best exploited within the current product design arena. The book includes discussions concerning product design education and the cross-over into other well established design disciplines such as interaction design
jewellery design
furniture design
and exhibition design which have been somewhat under represented in recent years. The book comprises a number of sections containing papers which cover highly topical and relevant issues including Design Curriculum Development
Interdisciplinarity
Design Collaboration and Team Working
Philosophies of Design Education
Design Knowledge
New Materials and New Technologies in Design
Design Communication
Industrial Collaborations and Working with Industry
Teaching and Learning Tools
and Design Theory.
